MONDAY. DEC. 21. 1888.
OUK WASU1SGTOX LETTEIi.
(Sp. Cor. Dally. Kevlew.)
Washington, D. C , Dec. 20, '88
I -wonder liow many of the readers
of the Kkvikw liave ever reflected
upon that mystery of every day life
that we call uieiilory the name by
which we designate the power to
recall the past and to picture to the
wind the scenes and incidents of the
loner aero. Scientists tell us that its
seat is at the base of the brain, and
that the things that we see, hear or
touch, all our impressions, indeed,
no matter through which of the
senses received, are instantly con
veyed by these little messengers, the
nerves, to what they call the regis
tering ganglia, located there, and
that once pictured there they are
there forever; and, pleasurably or
painful, may be summoned by the
will or are arbitrarily called up by
some kindred circumstance.
"Lull'd in the countless chambers of
the brain,
Our thoughts are linked by many a
hidden chain.
Awake but one, and !o, what my
riads rise !
Each stamps its image as the pther
. ilies!
Each as the various avenues of sense
Delight or sorrow to the soul dis
pense, Brightens or fades, yet all with mag
ic art.
Control the latent fibres of the
heart."
How important it is that this men
tal gallery, which we are always to
carry about with us, should be hung
'round with pleasing pictures, paint
ed by the finger of love, that mal
ice, hatred and uncharitableness,
those three gorgons that have sur
vived the days of fable, should hang
no pictures ihere.
"Oh thou untameable conscience !
thou that never flatterest thou
that never leavest us to slumber or
to sleep. 'Tis thou that barrest
against us the future, that shuttest
out from us the present and knittest
the everlasting chain that binds us
to the rock and vulture of the past."
- But this reads more like a sermon
than a newspaper letter, and my
excuse is that this is the season
when memory will assert herself,
and, with anticipation, takes pos
session of the 'household. What
Santa Claus will bring is uppermost
in the juvenile mind, while what
' Santa Claus once brought fills that
of the senior; and, with the remem
brance, comes trooping in the whole
line of Christmases, beginning with
the happy days of childhood when
life was fresh and "the world was
all before us where to choose," and
Santa Claus was our patrdh saint
xmd the most glorious and best be
loved of any in the calendar, and
actually came down the chimney
and filled our stockings.
"When nature pleased, for life itself
was new.
And the heart promised what ilte
fancy drew."
And in the train came back, also,
the forms and faces of those who
were with us in those happy days.
They came, some from distant land
and some from the city of the dead,
but all with the loving looks and
hapny faces that they then wore,
and we thank God that the power
co reniemoer gives auumouai prooi
that the soul is immortal.
The other day I heard a church
choir sing an air that opened up the
flood-gates of memory. It was old
"Ariel," and the hymn begins with
the line: ,
'Oh could I speak the matchless
worth."
It was a favorite with Mr. Brad-1
ford Sherman, who led the choir of
the Front Street Methodist Church
for many years. I do not remem
ber all who assisted him. but 1 know ;
that the late Mr. John J. Conoleyj
and Tliomas M. Uaruner ami Kich
ard J. Jones, and, I think, their
wives, were of the number. - I recol
lected ' the beautiful music they
srave and the old church in. which it
was rendered, with its galleries on!
the gorgeous volume of song, that)
prepared the worshipper for the ,
solemn services, led by Uncle Harry
Merrick and Willjam Kellogg.
Wilmington was rich in musical
talent in those clays.'' Besides the
members of the choir named, there
was P. W. hannmsr. who led the
choir of the Presbyterian church,
and Miss Grace Mansfield, after
wards Mrs. Hallet, I believe, of that
choir; and . John Keston, and JL.
Burr,Jr., clarum ct vencrabile nomai,
and a host of. others who will be re
membered bv the survivors of that
period. Many are sleeping the sleep
of the jnst: but,
In friendships silent register
they live," and will' be brought
back to us in the tender memories
of the Christmas Td.
Permit me to offer congratula
tions to the Review an its vener
able age. Many returns of the hap
py day. May you live long and
prosper, and nnu ever increasing
encouragement, and substantial
support in vour patriotic work.
For your readers I would ask a
Merry Christmas, and to all let me
say: Pax Domini sit semper vou il
eum. Jacobus.
